I have a 7.x server installation configured with 3 75gig sata drives. When i set this up i set up for a RAID1 config. After a power failure the server fails to boot with the error The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. I removed the disks and ran R-Linux. 2 of the 3 disks had bad sectors. I am assuming one of the disks had no data on it and was simply a spare. However disk 3 i was able to pull off 1.2 gigs of data from the lvm partition. I connected the drives to a Red Hat box and discovered that size of the raid partition is only 1.2 gig vs. what should be a 72+gig partition therefore truncating our data. Since the backups are out of date, any suggestions about how to fix, where to send for recovery, etc would be greatly appreciated.
